Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen: Where To Watch Bundesliga Games

The Bundesliga returns from its winter break in style on Friday evening with a clash between reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen and European hopefuls Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park.

Before 'Die Winterpause', Leverkusen were fast closing the gap on league leaders Bayern Munich thanks to a run of five straight wins. Across all competitions, Xabi Alonso's men have won eight in a row and betting sites make them marginal favourites to extend that sequence to nine wins.

Another victory for Leverkusen would see them move to within one point of Bayern. However, recent results against Dortmund are not encouraging. Bayer have failed to win any of the last four meetings and both games last season ended in 1-1 draws.

They may not have Granit Xhaka for the first game of 2025 either, although whether Dortmund are good enough to take advantage of that absence and inflict only a second Bundesliga defeat of the season on Leverkusen is up for debate.

This season has been a struggle in the main for Dortmund, who sit sixth in the table, 11 points off leaders Bayern and having won just one of their last four games in the league, albeit that sole victory came at Wolfsburg in their last game of 2024.

They are winless in three at home in all competitions and head coach Nuri Sahin could do with a major scalp to relieve some of the pressure that's been building.

Sahin will be grateful to welcome back Karim Adeyemi, who was enjoying a strong season before a recent spell on the sidelines through injury, scoring five goals and registering five assists in 10 games. He's 11/4 on football betting sites to mark his return with his third league goal of the season.
